Chapter 36: Murder and Punishment (2)
When the words fell, everyone looked at Su Zhi in unison.
For some reason, Su Zhi thought of the death of her comrade-in-arms, and her heart tightened.
She controlled her emotions and replied in a low voice, "The most painful thing is to see the dearest person die tragically." ”
There is nothing more painful in the world.
The air in the courtyard suddenly became solemn. Everyone was silent, except for the mournful sound of the crows outside, like weeping in front of a grave.
After a long time, Helian Mingrui chuckled lightly, sat down at the stone table, and tapped his fingertips on the table three times, "Bai Zhao." ”
As soon as Bai Zhao's eyes passed, he immediately understood, and pulled out the barrier knife to cut off the head of a man in black.
Seeing this, the other guards raised their swords and killed all the men in black. They were the elite of the forbidden army, and their swords were so sharp that the slain didn't even have time to wail before their heads rolled to the ground.
Bai Han asked anxiously, "Your Highness, they are key witnesses, is it too late to kill them after the trial?" ”
Su Zhi's scalp was numb, and she was also confused: there is no proof to kill them now, how can it be proved that An Lehou is the mastermind of the assassination?
Helian Mingrui smiled and did not answer.
"What does that mean?" Su Zhi stood next to Bai Han and asked in a low voice.
"If I knew, I would ask?" Bai Han lowered his voice and looked ahead vigilantly. Seeing that his brother didn't look back at him, he breathed a sigh of relief, and added mysteriously, "Your Highness does things, I never understand it, but I can do it every time." ”
Su Zhi's question mark was even bigger: "What did he do?" ”
Bai Han slapped his hand on his neck, "Kill." ”
Su Zhi chuckled in her heart and understood.
Folk rumors are not groundless. Helian Mingrui kills people like hemp, whether it is a man full of evil or a loyal person, he will kill it correctly. The common people secretly called him the living king of Hades, which means that killing people regardless of good or bad, regardless of the consequences, depends on the mood.
It seems to be right.
After a while, the guards stood neatly with the head of the man in black in their hands, as if waiting for Helian Mingrui to speak.
The dozen or so heads had their eyes wide open, and blood was crackling and dripping from their neatly cut necks.
A chill crept up Su Zhi's back. She wasn't afraid of the heads. This fear came from Helian Mingrui's terrifying gaze.
He was expressionless, but she could feel the chill beneath the calm.
Helian Mingrui pointed to the head of the leader of the men in black, and Bai Zhao understood, took a box from the horse, and put the bloody head into it.
Seeing Su Zhi's sluggish face, Bai Han thought she was scared, and whispered, "Don't look at it if you're afraid." I'll have nightmares at night. ”
Su Zhi didn't answer him, and pointed to the head in the box, "Who is this person?" ”
Bai Han was a little stunned by her calm reaction, but still replied, "This is Xiao Jue Shen, the only son of An Lehou, this evening, he led this group of people to ambush outside Bai Luguan to assassinate His Highness. After a while, his brows furrowed, "According to His Highness's temperament of cutting grass and eradicating roots, it is estimated that the three clans of Anle Hou will be finished." ”
As soon as the conversation began, Su Zhi couldn't control her curiosity, "Why did he assassinate His Highness?" ”
"His Highness has been investigating the cremation of the Anle Hou Mansion." Bai Han glanced at his brother, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he leaned close to Su Zhi's ear and lowered his voice, "Anyone who is targeted by His Highness, no one can overturn the case." I guess this little lord is a thief, and he plans to strike first. ”
Su Zhi nodded. She could hear Bai Han's voice trembling.
The courtyard was silent, and the smell of blood was surging in the darkness.
"Send it to the Anle Hou Mansion." Helian Mingrui stared at the box, his eyes were cold, and there was gradually a hint of pleasure in his voice, "Tell An Lehou that his good son will send it to the door by himself, and this palace will laugh at it." ”
